The Latin Sparks Festival is a one-night event that brings the fire and flavour of Latin America to Ottawa. The annual festival features DJs, live bands, dance performances, a variety of dance lessons, outdoor bars, authentic Latin street food, and a giant outdoor party in the open air.
Summer's spiciest party! Everyone, of every age and background, is invited to experience the flavours, sounds, and passions of Latin America right here in Ottawa. Food that will excite your tastebuds, music you can't help but move to, and dance lessons that will make a hip-shaker out of even the shyest beginner. You don't need to be a connoisseur of Latin American culture. Just arrive with curiosity, your friends, and your appetite.
The event caters to the whole family with plenty to entertain every age, including live shows, food trucks, dance lessons, and more. Children 12 and under enter free.
